Since Princess Huijia deemed the longevity lock as an Imperial gift to her, let her continue to think that way.
Indeed, after hearing Daohua’s response and seeing Madam Li’s face conveying the same certainty, Princess Huijia’s emotions immediately became unsettled.
It seemed to her that the Yan Family was held even dearer in the Emperor’s heart than she had imagined!
In the past, she always thought that the Emperor favored the Yan Family for Xiao Yeyang’s sake, but now...
At the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, when Countess Shengping offended the Empress Dowager, the Emperor appeared right on time to resolve the situation for her, resulting in her not only avoiding punishment but receiving a bounty of rewards. These facts clearly demonstrated the Emperor’s regard for the Yan Family and for Countess Shengping.
With this in mind, Princess Huijia smiled and introduced Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong to Daohua, "You three ladies should get to know each other well; you might plan to go out together in the future."
Hearing Kang Naixin’s name, Daohua’s eyes widened, "Carnation? Your name is Carnation?"
Kang Naixin, seeing Daohua’s surprised reaction, asked in confusion, "What’s the matter? Is there a problem?"
Wu Xirong also looked curiously at Daohua.
Daohua forced a smile and said, "No problem, I’m just a bit surprised. To my knowledge, carnation is the name of a flower."
Kang Naixin ’oh-ed’ and then laughed, "Well, according to what you said, doesn’t that make me a flower? That’s pretty good!"
Daohua pulled a smile, "Yes, quite nice."
Wu Xirong watched Daohua with amusement, "Countess Shengping..."
Daohua interrupted her, "Call me Yiyi."
Wu Xirong didn’t stand on ceremony and called her by her name following Daohua’s suggestion.
Afterward, the three of them started chatting.
Kang Naixin was Princess Huijia’s youngest daughter, spoiled from childhood, yet she didn’t develop a domineering personality; she was cheerful and candid.
Wu Xirong, coming from a military family, carried an uncommon valiant spirit for a lady; she spoke and acted without any shyness or affectation.
After chatting with the two for a while, Daohua felt pretty good; the conversation was straightforward without any pretense, making it quite relaxing and independent.
Soon, a noise came from downstairs; Daohua looked down and saw that Xiao Yeyang’s coming of age ceremony had begun.
Daohua ceased speaking with Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong and watched attentively as Xiao Yeyang went through the rites with the master of ceremonies below. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Princess Consort Ma saw Xiao Yeyang wearing the headdress sent by the Guo Family, and seeing that Prince Jinghui didn’t stop him, she was extremely vexed.
After all, Prince Jinghui still held some affection for the Guo Family!
...
After the ceremony, everyone stayed for lunch and then started to leave the Prince Residence one after another.
"Prince, there are matters at home, so Jinghui and I will take our leave now."
